Dan's N5T LO daily - VR6 Turbo build starting #95

[Dmonday]

f**ked work off and took a trip to scrappy and bagged another engine mount.



damage was a sheered bolt, snapped engine mount and a slightly battered gearbox (which is fine)



manage to struggle and replace it on my todd, ended up using a mk2 golf scissor jack to raise the engine instead of the crane



But all sorted now, looks like one of the CV joints could be leaking though but should get me to work now!

nice to see you got it sorted! now get to work!

Roadside bodging FTW

Well had the engine back in, was absolutely fine...



Then the drive shaft went i knew it was on its way out after the engine dropped so i was just too lazy to replace it.

[GrandMstRamRod]

gutted dude, hope you get it fixed soon!

Did the drive shaft going have anything to do with a humpback bridge?

sorry about the trouble. . . . . 

but loving the fully demountable recovery wagon, a must for lowered motors

Thanks dude, can't imagine that happening any time soon

Haha nah dude, its been going for a long time and did another 50 - 100 miles after that absolutely fine, just decided to go when i was doing a turn in the road.

Haha yeah dude still had to get planks of wood to get it on

[Dmonday]

Well today was sh!t, went to scrappy in a massive rush as it was shutting and managed to get a drive shaft off in some form of record time only to find out i got the wrong driveshaft when i got home.. unbolted the driveshaft and it's welded its self in, any ideas on getting it out because i've been trying for most of the day, might have to whip engine out this week if i can't get it out..
